I want to address all retired athletes and especially retired @NHL players who support democracy and disagree with criminal dictatorial practices, so that they are not afraid to speak out. And publicly stand up for Ukraine, which has been defending itself against the Russian imperialist enemy for more than 3 years. It is defending not only its freedom, but also my country and the whole of Europe. At the same time, Ukraine deploys and loses the lives of its best people (at least several hundred thousand have already been killed and maimed). Especially now, when one of the most important partners (the USA - its current presidential administration) is taking the side of the greatest criminal of our time, Putin, with its actions, every word of yours is very important and can have an impact on saving many lives. Once again, I ask everyone who disagrees with the Russian imperialist war and the terrible crimes that the Russian army is committing on the territory of Ukraine (including the genocide of Ukrainian children), do not be afraid to speak out and condemn the Russian war and Russian crimes. (Including you The Great One. It is very likely that some of your distant relatives have been killed or maimed by Russian bombs in the past 3 years). I can assure you that everyone who can do this will do the right thing and it is quite possible that you will save many human lives.
